MediaTek introduced four new systems-on-chip (SoCs) for automotive applications, expanding its Dimensity Auto Cockpit portfolio. These SoCs, namely the CX-1, CY-1, CM-1, and CV-1, are designed to cater to a wide range of automotive segments, from premium to entry-level. Each SoC supports NVIDIA DRIVE OS, enabling car manufacturers to integrate advanced AI capabilities into their vehicles. The Dimensity Auto Cockpit SoCs incorporate an ARM v9-A architecture and leverage NVIDIA's next-generation GPU technology for AI computing and RTX graphics. This allows the platform to run large language models directly within the vehicle, facilitating a variety of AI-driven functionalities such as chatbots, content delivery across multiple displays, driver alertness monitoring, and other innovative safety and entertainment features. Local processing of these applications ensures enhanced security, speed, and reduced latency. The platform also features hardware-based security measures in line with the latest automotive safety standards.

Jerry Yu, MediaTek's Corporate Senior Vice President and General Manager of the CCM Business Group, highlighted the transformative impact of generative AI on the automotive industry, likening it to the revolution in mobile computing. The Dimensity Auto Cockpit series aims to elevate in-vehicle entertainment by integrating NVIDIA RTX GPUs for realistic visual and lighting effects, AI-enhanced upscaling, and frame generation for gaming. The SoCs also support high-quality video streaming and conferencing with features like AI gaze correction and audio enhancement.
